W4 FORMS
Please Log in to your (PSS) Payroll Self Serve Account to complete a new W4 form to make any changes, this is preferable to sending in a Paper Form so you do not have to send in private information. If you have trouble saving the Form, the problem is usually the signature as it has to match exactly the way it is pre-filled in at the top of the form.
W4 FORMS:
If you have questions about what to claim on your W-4 form no one at the district office can give any advice. If you do not have any withholdings or enough withholdings from your check and you want to have taxes withheld then you will need to complete a new W-4 Form. Your tax preparer is the best person to inform you as to what you need to change.
The district office is only allowed to explain the following:
The more allowances/dependents you list on your W-4 equals less withholdings which means more in your check but less at the end of the year.
The less allowances/dependents you list on your W-4 equals more withholdings which means less in your check but more at the end of the year.
You are legally allowed to change your W-4 as often as you are paid.
Your W-4 is not required to match your tax return in status or allowances.
A Filing status of Single or Married filling single will withhold more from your check which means you will get less in your check.
Two wage Earner box is a credit which will withhold more and you will get less in your check.
7) If you want withholdings and do not have anything being withheld then you need to do a new W-4 form. The following are options for increasing withholdings:
*lower your deductions
*change your status to Married Filing Single or Single
* list an additional amount withheld
Please remember your income is directly related to your withholding. If you are paid more and do not change your W-4 you will have more withheld. If you are paid less and do not change your W-4 you will have less and possibly nothing withheld.
